Entries - Week 37 - 12/09/2016


A question - especially as there are those on this board who are in a position to know the answer!

I just looked at the TCU website where they announce their Autumn programme, and saw that Cameron Norrie is competing in Challengers in Weeks 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 44: www.gofrogs.com/sports/m-tennis/spec-rel/082916aaa.html

That's five straight weeks (+ one) in the Autumn term; the Challengers are nowhere near Texas; and he's too good to assume that he'll just go there for the Qualies and be home on Monday. Is he taking the term off, as I think a few of the other very top university players have?

Thank you, Optimist! And best of luck to him,  both in the matches and in terms of making the longer-term decisions.

I'm assuming therefore Cams target in these 5 challengers is acquiring enough points to make the cut for Aus Open qualies. Given he'd only need probably a maximum of 60 net points you've got to think he ll do it. He does after all have connections down under and usually goes there over new year anyway doesn't he?

I was looking for something, so made a note of these updates to Women's ITF at the same time

France - Carreras is currently No 1 in qualifying
Israel - Deigman is LWM today
Italy - Amelia Stuart has snuck into qualifying
Portugal - Barnett is currently no 2 in qualifying
Spain - Kight is LWQ today

Understandably weak entry in the British Tour Tier 1 event this week - on the women's list only Beth Grey and Lucy Brown are ranked. I don't know enough about the men at this level, but not many names are familiar to me on their entry list.

I see Wardy and Wilbomb are out of Turkey, and there's no mention of Coxey.

Has anyone got any more information/explainations?

I can't help but feel that Wimbledon 2016 will just be a great memory rather than the springboard to something more substantial.

Certainly that to me would be a great pity, but I do share that feeling. Great talent, indeed a joy in some ways, but consistent desire and application - not sure about them.

 Agreed. There might be one honeymoon still on the horizon but the Wimbledon one is most definitely over and the time has come to get back on the pro circuit if he wants to build on it. To win front of half a dozen (if that) unknown spectators in a foreign country rather than a crowd of your mates who are cheering you on at Wimbledon will be the acid test. I had rather hoped that impending fatherhood might be a motivating factor to go out there and earn the money now, but it seems a bit worrying that there's still no sign of him planning to return to competitive action.
